Koules is a fast action arcade-style game for UNIX and OS/2. This versionsupports X window system, SVGAlib for Linux and OS/2. It works in fine(up to 900x620) resolution with cool 256 color graphics, multiplayer modeup to 5 players, full sound and, of course, network support. Koules isan original idea. First version of Koules was developed from scratchby Jan Hubicka in July 1995.

Yes, koules used to packaged on disk y1 of Slackware 3.3. It neededquite a bit of patching to work well on a modern system...

If you're building this for use on a slow system, try setting MITSHM=yesin the environment; it may speed things up (or not).

If you have Tcl/Tk installed, and you're running KDE, you'll get a niceGUI launcher dialog when you run Koules from the K menu. If you're notrunning KDE, try running "koules-launcher".

Note: When playing as player #2 in multiplayer, the default keys are WASD,not the arrows (this is confusing). Players 3 and above don't seem tohave default key maps, so be sure to configure the keys before startingthe game (or set the control type to mouse or joystick instead).
